Chapter 14 Fit Guanshan Wangyun Foil (2)
"The thieves fled?! And with the looted population? ”
Han Gang and Li Xin both looked at each other, how could there be such a stupid thief? But Han Lian, the leader, was very sure that he had watched the thief army drive Shengkou out of the village.
The suspicion of the letter was pursued until there were still three miles away from the evacuating thief army. Just southeast of Zhuangzi, where smoke rose, seeing the crowd of people desperately moving south on the vast fields but as slow as turtles, Han Gang and Li Xincai believed that there were really such greedy and stupid barbarians in the world, "How can there be such a stupid person?!" ”
The enemy army was right in front of him, and a flame ignited in Li Xin's eyes, "Han Lian! You go and keep an eye on the thieves and make them go a little slower! ”
More than a dozen cavalrymen shook the reins and rushed out. Han Gang and Li Xin only brought twenty rangers as scouts, and it was impossible for them to go into battle, but it was very convenient to hinder the movement of enemy troops with fewer cavalry.
"Raise the flag! Drumming! Trumpet! ”
Li Xin's battle flag was raised, and the sound of drums and trumpets announcing the arrival of the Great Song Dynasty King Shi spread in all directions on the field. The marching ranks suddenly stopped, formed as fast as they could, converted into battle formations, and began to pursue the enemy.
Hearing the call of the drum and trumpet, he turned his head and saw the officers and soldiers who came to help, and the captive people rebelled one after another. And in order to attract the Song army to attack, the barbarians who escorted them were not relentless at all, and began to cut down the people who refused to obey orders. At a distance of one mile, the screams in front were clearly discernible, and the slaughter of the barbarians in front could be seen. Seeing this scene, the battle flag leaned forward sharply, the horns and drums beat more urgently, and from Han Gang down, the anger of more than 800 officers and soldiers came out from the sound of drums and trumpets.
But when they were in pursuit, the barbarian army still did not waver, and urged the people forward with swords and guns. "Is there a problem?" As Han Gang marched forward to pursue the thief army, the more Su Ziyuan looked at it, the more wrong it became, "The officials and soldiers are about to catch up with them, why are the thieves still unwilling to give up the people?" ”
"Didn't Bo Xu see it before?" Han Gang looked at Su Ziyuan in surprise, "Didn't you see that village?" If it is a burning house, where is the smoke so thick? Still can't see much fire!? ”
"There's an ambush inside?!" Su Ziyuan gasped and turned his head to look at the burning village not far away.
"Ugh." Han Gang sighed, "Bo Xu, do you know that every time the Western Army is defeated, it is because of something?" …… It's an ambush! There are thousands of mountains and ravines in Kansai, and the official army is at war with the western thieves, which time is not worried about the ambush of the western thieves? When pursuing, you have to look left and right at the ravines on both sides. He smiled miserably, "This is the experience of hundreds of thousands of lives." Speaking of acting skills, this group of barbarians is much worse than the party members. ”
"Are you planning to do it!? Why don't you ......" Su Ziyuan exclaimed, his eyes widened, and he pointed at the officers and soldiers who were charging ahead, "Could it be that they all see it?" ”
"Jingnan is a barbarian, they all walk in the mountains, how can there be no precautions for ambushes? Even Shiwu knows the Tao below. Didn't you see that when you just passed the village, you arranged for the most elite team to walk against the village? Don't see a bow and arrow that is always thirty paces away from the village? Didn't you see which side the eyes of the soldiers below were staring at? Who didn't see the queen of the palace? We are not Zhang Shoujie. Han Gang smiled happily, only by deceiving his own people can he deceive the enemy, "The thieves will make plans, most likely because of the lack of troops." The village was so big, and there was smoke outside, hiding at most one or two hundred people. This ambush can be solved at hand. ”
"Why don't you attack the village directly, you should be able to lure back the thieves in front?!"
"What if they cut down the people?" Han Gang asked rhetorically.
Su Ziyuan nodded solemnly, although he took a risk, but it was indeed the best way to plan it.
Han Gang smiled, he also wanted to see the strength of the Jingnan Army. After a day's journey, the soldiers under his command did not have the strength to fight for a long time, and if it was replaced by other circumstances, he would definitely let the soldiers rest before going into battle, but the self-inflicted cleverness of the barbarian made Han Gang see the opportunity to win the battle.
The wet grass was used to make the appearance of thick smoke billowing out, covering the traces left by the ambush soldiers in the village. And Song Jun didn't even investigate carefully, staring at the team in front of him and chasing after him, everything went unimaginably smooth. Liu Yong clenched his fists excitedly and looked out through the low wall of the village. The Song army pursued right in front of his eyes. In the blink of an eye, the vanguard was about to catch up with the departing group, and the rear army had also crossed the village forty or fifty paces. Everything is developing according to the plan, as long as the Song army in front of him is solved and he returns to Kunlun Pass, he can make the timid Huang Jinman's eyes red.
"Second Cave Master, it's time to rush!" He Xue shouted fiercely, "Don't let the Song people have time to open their divine arms and bows!" ”
Liu Yong has been patient, just waiting for this sentence. Then there was a loud roar, and the horse rushed straight out of the village, and two hundred elites followed him closely, and rushed out of the village together
When a roar sounded behind him, Song Jun, who was chasing the enemy, looked back and saw a group of brutes with tattoos on their faces, screaming and rushing up from behind like evil ghosts. And there was another roar in front of him, and the thief army, which was driving the people desperately forward, also turned around and killed them one after another.
"Alright. Li Xin! I will act as an agent for the command of the pursuit of the enemy. As for the rear, it's up to you! Han Gang rode his horse forward and shouted at the front army, "The thief army has been tricked. There are only more than 100 thieves in the rear, and it is enough to have your Li Du in prison! Quickly defeat the thief in front of you and rescue my Great Song people! The first merit of the battle to the south, see who gets it first! ”
The small drums of the accompanying army beat more rapidly, which was an urge to speed up the attack, and hundreds of Jingnan elites who were eager for a battle cheered and rushed towards the enemy army.
When the thieves in front of the army were mixed with the people, it was inconvenient for the officers and soldiers to use the divine arm bow, but as the elite of the Jingnan army, the sword and axe were not badly used. As the vanguard, Yidu rushed into the enemy formation like a whirlwind with a big axe, and the blood light suddenly rose into the sky.
When a fine iron axe weighing more than a dozen catties is slashed, it will bring a fierce roar, like a wolf entering a flock, and it is invincible. The Guangyuan barbarian army wanted to resist with a sword and shield, but where could they resist. The fragile sword, spear, and shield broke as soon as it was chopped, and together with the brute soldiers behind him, he grabbed his head and split it with an axe.
At the same time, the people who had been taken captive by the barbarians took the opportunity to break free. But instead of fleeing, they roared and rushed at the thieves who had returned to fight, and with their hands, with their teeth, with all the weapons they could use, against the robbers who burned their homes, and slain their relatives and friends, and ravaged their wives and daughters, and with all the weapons they could use. It was already difficult to resist, but suddenly it was attacked from front to back, and the barbarian thief was suddenly defeated.
At this time, Li Xin had already jumped off his horse, two personal soldiers holding more than a dozen throwing spears, and behind him were dozens of Xuan Feng, all of which were the elites selected by Li Xin from the thousands of troops under his command in imitation of Kansai's habits. More than one hundred and sixty eyes looked coldly at the thieves who rushed up.
When Liu Yong rushed out, he was only forty or fifty steps away from the rear of the Song army, and there was no time to pull the Divine Arm Bow at this distance. However, he didn't expect Song Jun to react very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the team behind the palace was blocking in front of him.
But the Song army in front of him is only less than half of the troops in his hands, where will he put it in his eyes. Forty or fifty steps were only half left in an instant, Liu Yongchong was in the front, and the big knife in his hand was aimed at Li Xin, who was wearing a mountain armor, and the golden armor had already dazzled his eyes. He roared with all his strength, trying to shout out his pride. And then...... He saw his target, took a step forward, and waved his right arm at a speed that his eyes couldn't catch.
'Why did he remove his right hand and even his shoulder armor?' The last question had just lit up in Liu Yong's mind, and the screaming sound in his ears had not caused him to react yet, and a numbing shock came from the front door, and in an instant, all consciousness sank into darkness.
A spear pierced through Liu Yong's face, easily shattered the fragile bridge of his nose, passed through the soft palate, pierced the root of the tongue, and pierced the back of his neck with a blood-red liquid, nailing the younger brother of the chief of Guangyuan Prefecture to the ground.
At the same time that Li Xin was showing his spear-throwing skills in the famous Zhen Army, the selection of the front he had trained with one hand also threw the iron spear in his hand at the same time. As long as he hit the silver plate placed on the ground thirty paces away, he could go home with the broken plate, Li Xin imitated the training method of Shiheng, and saw the effect at this time.
After a series of breaking winds, there were screams. Two hundred barbarian troops ambushed them, and the drafters solved a third of them with just one blow. The spears were thrown one after another, and in the blink of an eye, only the last brute thief was left standing blankly. He had been robbed of all his sanity by the great onslaught, and he would neither flee nor surrender. The next moment, seven or eight spears pierced his body at the same time, mercifully sending him back to his leader.
The enemy army who thought they were clever was solved in an easy battle, and it only took a little more than eating to behead nearly a thousand people, and the soldiers below were smiling, cleaning the battlefield, waiting for the officials and people in Pennsylvania to come out to greet them.
But Han Gang and Li Xin, who were the leaders, had gloomy faces, and Su Ziyuan's eyes were even red. He Xuexue, who was hiding in the village, was found out, he kowtowed like garlic, and in order to save his life, he revealed the military situation and the situation he knew.
A Xiucai surnamed Xu offered advice, and Li Changjie used the strategy of piling up dirt into a mountain. Little by little, the earth mountain was piled up on the head of Yongzhou City. However, the city has repeatedly recruited people who dare to die to go out of the city to rob and kill, and the progress of mountain building is slow. But under the command of Li Changjie, Yongzhou City has killed a metropolitan eunuch and a worship official in succession, "One is called Xue Ju, and the other is called Liu Shigu, this is the news I just received this morning." ”
"Nothing else?"
He Xuezhi kowtowed, "The villain doesn't dare to hide anything!" ”
Han Gang glanced at He Xuexuan with disgust, and waved his hand: "Drag him out of the court." ”
Two soldiers came over and picked him up. He Xuezhu was stunned, struggled desperately, and shouted loudly: "Official, you said that you would not kill villains. ”
Han Gang glanced coldly at the traitor who had read the book of sages in vain, "I won't kill you." But whether the people of Pennsylvania will kill you depends on whether you have done evil or not! ”
He Xuexue was dragged down, and the three of them were silent. Although the city has not yet been broken, Li Changjie has used the means to hit the dead hole in Yongzhou. Judging from their progress, Yongzhou will hold on for another three or five days at most.
And this is the news two days ago, if you want to save Yongzhou City, the remaining time will be two or three days. Whether to wait for the rear army to come, or to try to move on.
Su Ziyuan looked at Han Gang with begging in his eyes, but he didn't dare to say it, this was related to the lives of Han Gang, Li Xin and nearly a thousand soldiers, and he couldn't expect Han Gang to take risks for this. Li Xin frowned, Kunlun is famous all over the world, only 800 tired soldiers can't attack it at all, and copying the trail is in danger of annihilation, he can't take this risk with his brother Paoze, but he can't say in front of Su Mian's son, he can only choose to be silent.
After a long while, Han Gang finally spoke, in a tone that seemed like he was going out to eat: "We want to take Kunlun Pass." ”
